HELP

My daughter is 16 and pregnant by her 18 year old exboyfriend. Is there anything legally I can do?

Also, he has been telling his friends that she cheated on him and is a whore. He posted it to facebook that she was a cheater. I emailed his parents and told them that if he said another word about my daughter I was going to have him put in jail. Did I jsut do a stupid thing and harass them?

depending on what state you live in the laws regarding ages of consent change. For example in Tennessee, the age of consent is 15, and it is okay to have sex with a man over the age of 18 but only if the difference in age is less than 4 years. so 3 years 364 days... Most states, I believe, Have the age of consent 16, though this boy is 18, it is only 2 years age difference. I would say you ought to look at the specifics of the state you live in and see for sure. But if she is planning on keeping the child sue him for child support. He will be made to take a paternity test and then he can stop running his mouth.
